The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Seed mass, seedling size and neotropical tree seedling establishment (2005, background): “The slow relative growth rate (RGR) typically associated with larger seed size is taken to indicate inherently lower metabolic rates that permit seedlings to maintain their carbon balance under deep shade or in response to herbivory (see also Green & Juniper 2004a).”
Facilitation of Quercus ilex in Mediterranean shrubland is explained by both direct and indirect interactions mediated by herbs (2010, background): “Differences in seedling size within a population can be attributed to genetic differences among individuals as demonstrated for Q. ilex (Leiva & Fernández-Alés 1998), but also to emergence time or seed size (Jurado & Westoby 1992; Green & Juniper 2004; De Luis, Verdú & Raventós 2008).”
Carbohydrate storage enhances seedling shade and stress tolerance in a neotropical forest (2007, background): “2000; Green & Juniper 2004).”
